Evolutionarily stable sex ratios and mutation load.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2013

Hough Josh, Immler Simone, Barrett Spencer C H, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

Frequency-dependent selection should drive dioecious populations toward a 1:1 sex ratio, but biased sex ratios are widespread, especially among plants with sex chromosomes. Here, we develop population genetic models to investigate the relationships between evolutionarily stable sex ratios, haploid selection, and deleterious mutation load. We confirm that when haploid selection acts only on the relative fitness of...
